"But I can't listen to music very often, it affects my nerves. I want to say sweet, silly things, and pat the little heads of people who, living in a filthy hell, can create such beauty. These days, one can't pat anyone on the head nowadays, they might bite your hand off. Hence, you have to beat people's little heads, beat mercilessly, although ideally we are against doing any violence to people. Hm -what a devillishly difficult job!" -Lenin commenting on Beethoven's Appassionata.
“It is obvious that art cannot teach anyone anything, since in four thousand years humanity has learnt nothing at all. We should long ago have become angels had we been capable of paying attention to the experience of art, and allowing ourselves to be changed in accordance with the ideals it expresses. Art only has the capacity, through shock and catharsis, to make the human soul receptive to good. It’s ridiculous to imagine that people can be taught to be good…Art can only give food – a jolt – the occasion – for psychical experience.” ― Andrei Tarkovsky
"You say, 'The LORD's way is not fair!' Hear now, house of Israel: Is it my way that is unfair, or rather, are not your ways unfair?" -Ezekiel 18:25.Shalom:
I'm a new type of uninspired as of late...
It's downright depressing the longer it carries on and the outside world ain't helping it.

Anyhow, hope y'all are living it well.

Trying to work through however-much stuff myself as well.
Wish I could give some specific advice, but I'm not sure if I really got anything particularly helpful at this time.
Take care, man.
Thanks.
Sometimes, we must make our own 'Light.' If-only to piss off all the demons trying to destroy it!

Thanks for the advice nonetheless.
Been a huge fan of Sun Tzu, and rarely (Ever?) found fault with what he was sayin'?!
(Murdering proper Grammar always makes me smile. That high-pitched *SPINNING* noise my former English Teachers make when I do it is music to my ears!) ;-P
But yeah, 'To each their own' is also a theme I must respect. What works for some is no guarantee it'll work for all.
Still, I very-much feel/empathize with this sensation of dodging flaming balls hurled by trebuchets: I can SEE 'EM COMING, and if only one/two/three, aren't all that hard to judge their arcs and then dance aside in a timely fashion. Lately it seems like they've mass reproduced and are now chucking WALLS o' FLAME?!
Just, trying to stay in touch best as I'm able (ATM. Winter's comin', and THEN I can park mah fanny at the keyboard and READ, then chat wif folks like I so enjoy!).
Just lettin' ya know you're heard, and I want to offer some commiseration/support!
:-D
You will have questions - ask them - but answer them yourself.

Helps calm my mind and remind me that life continues regardless of our role in it, and I take solace in that.
It's especially helpful when things start feeling oppressive in a way that blocks my muse [creativity/imagination].
I have to try to reach out to her and find her again when she's missing, she's finicky much as I am, haha!
Hehe! Yeah, muses are like that; Cheera can attest to that.
Thanks, Lu; I'll see if the muse can hanker me down to get something done.
My imagination is always at an 11, but my ability to get that out of my head and into words has been a 2 at best lately. I fail more days than I succeed, but I'm trying, which is all any of us can do.
Never give up, never surrender.
I know exactly what you mean, that's kinda how I feel. I've thought up of two other stories to write as of late as well as some reason to actually start another work that's been WIP BTS; basically I get a spark and it's off for a moment but when pen comes to paper, I only get one page done then it's out the window either because I've started late in the day and I don't feel the urge or just 'cause I get sleepy and I feel bored.
Will do; good luck to you.
I do agree though, I need to get more proper sleep and healthier management in my life.
Thanks, Raeven. *pets*
More what I meant was only be concerned with keeping what is in your realistic sphere of influence happy and don't stress over more than that, widening the sphere is fine as long as you make sure you're happy with that choice <3
You're welcome.
I think I'm still trying to find my limit, but I'll take you warning with caution. By which I mean, I might type it out and stick it somewhere as a constant reminder.
